Christmas is coming

Christmas is coming and I am trying to get things back in order. Starting with a holiday theme for the blog. I am also hoping to get a copy of Mac Family Tree so that I can get cracking on my genealogy again. I only have a windows program for tracking people and don't have access to the windows machine - well it works but won't connect to the internet so it is really a useless machine.

Guckert, Pauline

Today I thought I would take a look at some books and try to find out some info about my Grandma.

I found that they came to USA from Konstantsa Romania on the SS Bremen. It was August 18, 1907 when they arrived.


Now I am off the www.ellisisland.com to see what they know.

Hauck and Guckert

I guess I will actually work on this side of the family for a while. I don't really have much at all. It seems a bit of a mystery to me. My Grandfather Peter Hauck came to Canada through the US. However, Who he travelled with is a mystery. Some say it was his stepmother, step brothers or half sister. Some say he came alone. So far I have no documented proof.

All I know of him is this: Born Peter Hauck 28 August 1889 in Odessa Russia
Died 28 June 1956 in Medicine Hat Alberta
He married Pauline Guckert 25 Nov 1913 in Fox Valley SK
His Mom could be named Ludgarda Runz and his stepmother was Barbara Feist
His dad is probably named John or Johann

I Hope some one can help me.
I am off to check some information.

Family Heritage

So I guess my first post will be WHY do I want this blog? I am hoping that this blog will help me get organized and hopefully connect with some family out there that I don't know or I know but have not spoke to in quite some time.

I have so much information on my Dad's side of the tree I am hoping to even it out abit and learn more about my Mom's side.

The Hauck side of my tree is pretty sparse so if you know something let me in on it. I will help you too.

Thanks
